Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Re: Kickstarter, tire pressure/temp/lean angle?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rdv-labs/cycleat-the-tire-sensor-for-bicycles-and-motorcycl?ref=discovery I can see the advantages of having such a device fitted, but like yourself I also wonder how the tyre valve copes with the centrifugal thrust at speed with the sensor being attached to the...

Re: Kickstarter, tire pressure/temp/lean angle?

Rossi probably would al tho this is a prototype and not yet in market. Also MotoGP don't really have that much real-time data being transmitted? Might be the nerd in me, but it would be nice to have tyre temperature at the very least, and seeing how I almost had an accident due to sudden air leakage...

Kickstarter, tire pressure/temp/lean angle?

So I found this the other day.. Thought it might be interesting enough to share amongst fellow bike riders :) Think i'll back (pre order/ this once the salary comes to the account.. If I can figure out how this doesn't completely fly off in 180+ or cause major balance issues on the tyre :P https://w...

Re: Vacuum hose, not sure where to fit...

Hahaha, f*** the "B" one i put on the south-pointing tap on the petcock.. *sigh*.. That's probably where i went wrong :P The fule-tap is on tho cause it's gathering a bit of gas in the carburetors between the successful starts (tried starting by giving a bit of throttle which just kills th...

Vacuum hose, not sure where to fit...

So I've struggled and waited for parts for over a month now, and finally put the engine together and it all works (almost) perfectly. As soon as a touch the throttle (after getting it to barely start at ~1200 RPM with full choke), it just cuts off instantly and dies. Or if i let it idle at ~1200 for...

Re: Chain Tensioners

Replaced my CCT's a week ago. There's a GREAT manual for it here: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation Guide (MCCT's) (it's the same process as the automatic OEM stuff.. Took about 3-4h in total to swap everything. Be CAREFUL when tightening any exterior bolts putting things back together, i brok...

Re: what have you done to your

Re: Just a hello

That's a rad looking bike tbh.. And I rarely fancy any non-sports bikes at all.. But this one was not "over done" and they've kept it simple. Well done!

Re: Step one....

At first I thought this was a spam post..
But then I realized I'm not familiar with the UK slang yet (working on it tho ;)

Are you building something rad? Or just piecing together crashed bike parts into a working VTR? Again, sorry for being daft.. I'm working on it!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Do they do "Red" ones to match my bikes colour? :lol: Actually, I don't think so.. Only clear white see-through and black (aka "smoke") :/ However @Tweety has some nice guides for it tho.. Head over to http://www.tweety.se/gallery.php and search for "LED" to see how it...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Installed a LED taillight with black glass.
